Not at all. I was replying to a part of a mail that introduced development aspects such as programming paradigm and code-reuse. Users of KDE software can be quite advanced or even be developers themselves, so it made sense to respond to those items with the appropriate details. > have this effect.

I am not aware of a paradigm names OOPs, but C++ supported development along the lines of many paradigms, usually used in a mixture of them. It is mostly imperative programming, often object oriented, but also sometimes functional. > http://cmollekopf.wordpress.com/2013/02/13/kontact-nepomuk-integration-why- > data-from-akonadi-is-indexed-in-nepomuk/ > From this it seems I may well be using KDE4 file indexing even with it > turned off. Very unlikely. The approach described in Christian's blog does not involve file indexing either. > The problem with using inactivity as a trigger was demonstrated when it > was forcibly used on SuSe to spin down the disks.

The clock sounds like someone > thinking wouldn't it be nice to use .... to me. I would be surprised if the clock applet interacts with the index in any way.
